Did a show the other night in Cherry Hill, N.J., for <a href="http://www.jnf.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=yes,dependent=no,width=950,left=200,height=800,top=100'); return false;">Jewish National Fund</a>.

Last’s night’s show: the Jewish Federation Campaign Kickoff, for 130 people, including seven rabbis and several non-Jews, in the sanctuary of Congregation Rodeph Shalom. I like performing in synagogue sanctuaries.</p>
